Oh, Mary!

About this experience

Oh, Mary! tickets Oh, Mary! is Cole Escola's Olivier and Tony Award-winning comedy, playing at the Trafalgar Theatre on Whitehall, moments from Trafalgar Square. It is a dark, gleefully irreverent comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln's assassination, who would much rather be back on the cabaret stage. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism and suppressed desires abound in this 80-minute one-act play, which finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs Lincoln. It is deliberately fictional, gloriously silly and packed with one-liners. What to expect at Oh, Mary! Written by Cole Escola and directed by Sam Pinkleton, Oh, Mary! began Off-Broadway in January 2024 and transferred to Broadway's Lyceum Theatre that summer, where it played to sold-out houses. On Broadway it won Tony Awards for Best Leading Actor in a Play for Escola and Best Direction of a Play for Pinkleton, and it was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The West End production opened at the Trafalgar Theatre in December 2025 and won Best Entertainment or Comedy Play at the 2026 Olivier Awards. The show runs for 1 hour 20 minutes with no interval, so it is easy to fit around dinner or drinks nearby on Whitehall or in Covent Garden. Before you go Oh, Mary! is recommended for ages 14 and over, and children under 4 are not admitted. The Trafalgar Theatre is at 14 Whitehall, London SW1A 2DY, a short walk from Charing Cross station. As there is no interval, arrive in good time and pick up any drinks before the show starts.
